Observer
Name Kenneth B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I'm not sure if it was fire ball but it was the biggest shooting star ever seen and it moved way slower then the average shooting stars I have seen it got brighter as it went and disappeared over the tree line. Also it was a guess on time it could be five mins earlier. Hopefully not wasting your time thank you
